Le Chatelier's Principle Concentration

Question 1

What is le chateliers principle

Answer 1

Predictive tool that is sued to determine the effect of certain conditions on a reversible reaction in a closed system at equilibrium

Question 2

Effect of concentration on reaction rate

Answer 2

When there is an increase in concentration there are more particles per unit volume which allows for more frequent successful collisions occuring between particles

Question 3

Collision theory tying in

Answer 3

If concentration of reactant is increased
- More reactant particles in system
- This in turn leads to more frequent collisions
- which leads to an increase in forward reaction rate relative to reverse reaction rate
- leads to more of that substance being consumed
